News: ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN - Forsaken Hollows DLC Launches in December
ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN, the standalone multiplayer co-op survival action game from FromSoftware and Bandai Namco, has revealed its first DLC expansion, ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN: THE FORSAKEN HOLLOWS, set to launch on December 4, 2025. This exciting addition builds on the core experience of rising against the encroaching darkness in the ever-shifting lands of Limveld. As a co-op adventure within the ELDEN RING universe, the base game lets up to three players team up as Nightfarers—uniquely skilled heroes with distinct abilities that synergize in combat. Each session pits players against the relentless Night’s Tide, an environmental threat that alters the map dynamically, culminating in epic boss battles. The game's tagline, "As Night Falls, We Rise," encapsulates the tense survival mechanics where teamwork is key to overcoming magnificent night bosses and exploring a land that changes every playthrough. Available on PlayStation 4/5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam, NIGHTREIGN reimagines ELDEN RING's challenging combat and vast world in a focused co-op format, supporting both solo and multiplayer modes.
The Forsaken Hollows DLC introduces thrilling new content to deepen the survival challenge in Limveld. Players will face The Dreglord, a horrifying new final boss born from the souls and blood of the fallen, embodying a wounded spirit that stalks the shadows. This expansion adds two formidable third-day bosses and additional field bosses, demanding fresh strategies and coordinated assaults. A novel Shifting Earth mechanic dynamically reshapes the terrain mid-session, creating unpredictable landscapes and hidden dangers that test even veteran Tarnished. New points of interest scattered across Limveld invite deeper exploration, uncovering lore-rich areas teeming with threats and treasures. Complementing these environmental and enemy enhancements are two new Nightfarers, each bringing unique abilities to the fray—perfect for adapting to the Night’s Tide's escalating horrors. These additions promise to amplify the co-op intensity, encouraging players to "Rise Together" with enhanced hero synergies. The DLC reveal trailer showcases these elements in stunning detail, highlighting the DLC's seamless integration into NIGHTREIGN's punishing yet rewarding gameplay loop.
Owners of the Deluxe or Collector’s Editions of ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN receive The Forsaken Hollows DLC at no extra cost upon launch, while others can purchase it separately for $19.99 on all supported platforms. The expansion also bundles a digital artbook and mini soundtrack, offering artistic insights into FromSoftware's dark fantasy vision. Bandai Namco Entertainment America, renowned for publishing hits like the DARK SOULS series and the original ELDEN RING, continues its legacy of delivering immersive interactive entertainment. With its blend of brutal combat, cooperative depth, and procedural evolution, ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN and its Forsaken Hollows DLC solidify FromSoftware's mastery of soulslike innovation, inviting players to brave the night once more.
